Footbridge Extension
The footbridge extension extends the current footbridge over Fairfield Road to provide easy access to the station. The footbridge extension was originally to be delivered with the Queensland Tennis Centre in 2007, but was pulled. The construction started 8 July 2010 and was completed and opened to the public on 29 December 2010 in time for the 2011 Brisbane International.

Famous quotes containing the words footbridge and/or extension:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
